Hi Kevin, I've just received the "2013 NENY Fruit School and enrollment" email message from Nancy, which includes an attachment showing the agenda for the Upper Hudson/Champlain Commercial Tree-Fruit School on page 4; I am listed as speaking (11:30-11:55) on that agenda, but not on the one in this Apple-Crop email, below, sent on Tuesday.
So I guess the question is, which agenda is correct, and am I in fact on the program? Regards, Art From: Kevin Iungerman <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: Apple-crop discussion list <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 3:13 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [apple-crop] Feb 11, 2013. Upper Hudson-Champlain TF School - Lk Geo, NY. Cornell University Extension G'day one and all - and a hearty Holidays and New Year's greeting! I invite you to come lovely Lake George, NY, nestled on the edge of the Adirondacks, to attend Cornell University Extension's 2013 Upper Hudson / Champlain Commercial Tree Fruit School taking place on Monday, February 11, 2013. We especially invite friends and associates from nearby VT and Quebec and other locales of the greater Northeast region - all areas of similar production parameters: short season, high latitude, cold climate and similarly unique issues, challenges, and shifting climate exigencies! 1. Our Fruit School is intended for experienced individuals practicing commercial apple production - yet it is also appropriate for new apple growers as well. The Program is expected to carry 3.9 NY and VT pesticide applicator re-certification credits for persons who are eligible and are carrying proper identification at check-in. Lake George and the Lake Champlain Basin can be absolutely brilliant in winter! Come and Explore! And while we welcome a rekindling of our standing acquaintances we enjoy encountering and meeting new folks at our meeting. Cheers.
